[From “Sedes Vacat”]

BY NOW, the news of the death of “Pope” Francis on Easter Monday morning has reached you. It was not a surprise by any means. After many weeks of battling the traumatic effects of pneumonia at the age of 88, the life of a man who purportedly occupied the papal chair while publicly rejecting many tenets of the Catholic religion, reveling instead in what he called “the existential peripheries,” came to an end.

In his final days, Francis seemed only desirous of sealing his legacy, which was applauded by millions of fans. It was not a surprise that his final testament used two catchwords of the Masonic overthrow of Christian civilization: “peace” and “fraternity”[…]
Will the successor of Francis be a conservative or as boldly radical and worldly as Francis?

The question preoccupies an army of pundits and analysts. The atmosphere of speculation is very much like that before a presidential election and even a major sports championship.

The reality, however, is that while it is not of zero consequence just how openly opposed to true doctrine, morals and worship his successor as head of the Vatican II Church will turn out to be, this man will not bring to a halt the inexorable slide into almost universal apostasy — a falling away foretold by the prophet Daniel, St. Paul and Jesus Christ himself. This continuing decay of faith is inevitable for the simple reason that Francis’s successor will not possibly be a true pope of the Catholic Church. The men who will elect him have all rejected the Faith (while holding to key elements of it) and thus, like Francis, are not even members of the Church and have no standing to elect a pope. They are not true cardinals.

That, by the way, is the most simple truth about Francis and all the men taken as popes since the false election of Angelo Roncalli in 1958: he was not Catholic and, according to canon law and teachings of the true popes, a non-Catholic cannot hold office in the Church
